David, that story is really bizarre. Both "Ms." Callihan and "Mr." Kasper had to have been on drugs. I wonder what the objective was of attempting to open the plane door during landing? I wonder what thoughts went through their minds (I'll be kind and assume they had at least some gray matter inside their skulls) after they were denied an upgrade to first class? Let me try: Kasper: "This is insulting. I deserve an upgrade. It's my right. I'll never live this down. I know, I'll jump out of the plane while it's still rolling down the runway. That'll show 'em. But before I go, I'm going to dump hot coffee all over that stewardess." Callihan: "Honey, you're so manly, so macho. I'm going with you. But first, I'm going to kick down the door of the pilot's cabin. Maybe they'll get so distracted that the plane will veer off the runway. Yeah. That'd be so awesome. We're going to be heroes. If we survive this, we'll sue the airline for allowing drug-crazed idiots to mingle with regular passengers. Then we'll volunteer to be the poster children for the legalization of drugs." DK

had a similar experience leaving Las Vegas a couple of years ago - an extremely boisterous, obnoxious guy sitting up front really pissed off a lot of people and apparently went over the line at some point as the plane taxied away from the gate. Before we got very far on the taxiway the pilot got on the horn and said we were returning to the gate. Spontaneous cheering broke out as the greatly subdued idiot was led from the plane. The SW crew rebuttoned the door quickly and we were pulled back from the jetway in quicktime, took off promptly and arrived back in the Bay area right on time. Of course this all happened before we got off the ground so there was no real danger, unlike the Kasper/Callihan contretemps. Dee Jay
